Fig. 34

Material examined

GHANA • 3 ♀♀; Mar. 1993; MNCN20.04/10271c • 3 specs (5.2 ×5.2, 5.5 ×6.2, 4.6 ×5); Mar. 1993; MNCN20.04/20727 .

Remarks

These three specimens MNCN20.04/10271c were mixed with the specimens of A. laevidorsalis MNCN 20.04/10271, under the label of “Sin determinar” (undetermined), Leucosiidae family. The previous identification of the specimens MNCN20.04/20272 was wrong, as A. laevidorsalis .

This work provides the first records of A. cristata in Ghanaian waters.

For identification, see also Galil (2009).
